This month’s Training with Tanner features a dynamic collaboration with Parker Bridwell to showcase the importance of teamwork, precision, and focus when turning double plays. Using the Web Bounder rebounder and Sock Net, this drill emphasizes the fundamentals of fielding and throwing to perfection.

Drill Focus: Perfecting Double Plays

In this drill, Parker initiates the action by throwing into the Web Bounder rebounder, sending a sharp ground ball to Tanner. Tanner fields the ball cleanly and executes a precise throw into the Sock Net, simulating the second part of a double play.

Key Points for Success:

1. Good Fielding Feel: Tanner demonstrates the importance of a clean feel out front. By fielding the ball well ahead of his body, he maintains control and accuracy.
2. Staying Low in the Legs: Tanner avoids popping up by staying low and balanced, which keeps his throw on target and prevents wild releases.
3. Working Through the Target: Instead of stopping his motion, Tanner works right through the throw, ensuring power and precision.
